FIBREGLASS

Fibreglass (GRP - Glass Reinforced Plastic) or similar fibre reinforced plastics (FRP) have the advantage of low tooling costs, high strength-to-weight ratio and the ability to create complex shapes that combine to make a range of purpose-specific parts. Fire retardant resins can be used to further enhance the physical properties of your products.

Bolwell is an experienced OEM supplier and offers contract composite manufacturing to industry.

We have onsite pattern and tooling making facilities and can produce your moulds from CAD, 2D drawings or even sketches.

Our laminating technologies include RTM Lite (resin transfer moulding), Vacuum Infusion, Hand and Spray Lay-up. The specific moulding process used to manufacture your product is chosen based on the product design and production volumes to give the most economical solution.

Resins used include polyester, vinyl ester and epoxy in combination with fibreglass, carbon fibre and aramid (Kevlar) reinforcements. We work with our customers to ensure the lay-up schedule chosen will meet their specific technical requirements.

Our quality systems are ISO9001 compliant and we
can deliver JIT directly to your production line.

RTM

LIGHTWEIGHT RTM (Resin Transfer Moulding)

This is a closed mould process which provides uniform, repeatable wall thickness and a smooth finish on both faces. Although tooling costs are increased, production times are improved, wastage minimised and emissions reduced.

RAIL TRIM PANELING

Bolwell supplied Fibreglass interior components for the Xtrapolis Connex trains.
Window trims and doors were made from fire retardant resin and were supplied as ready-to-fit sub-assemblies.

ON-SITE SUPPORT

We understand that it is not sufficient to provide quality fibreglass and composite mouldings, it is also important to have "on call" staff that can respond rapidly to support our customer's needs.

This proactive approach is highly regarded by our customers and provides outside-the-box solutions to issues that may arise during the project implementation stage.
